The adjustment is due to the downward trend in world oil prices in the past 15-day pricing period (USD 55.756 per barrel for RON 92 gasoline).Similarly, the prices of petroleum products in the past 15-day cycle also decreased, so the management agency decided to adjust the price down by 200 VND per liter of RON 92 gasoline and E5 gasoline.

Before the gasoline price adjustment today, the Ministry of Finance announced the import tax on gasoline. Accordingly, the weighted average import tax to calculate the base price for the gasoline price adjustment period from July 5 is: 15.74% for gasoline, 1.84% for diesel, 0% for kerosene and mazut.

Meanwhile, the weighted average import tax on gasoline in the previous quarter was 18.35% and diesel was 2.32%. Thus, the import tax on gasoline this time decreased by 0.3-3%.

Along with adjusting retail prices, the regulatory agency also decided to reduce the use of the price stabilization fund for gasoline. Of which, RON 92 is at 426 VND per liter (previous period was 639 VND), E5 is at 467 VND per liter (down 205 VND). Similar figures for oil products also decreased, for example, kerosene decreased from 764 VND per liter to 669 VND per liter...

According to the regulator's calculations, the average world price of finished products in the past 15-day period was nearly 55.76 USD per barrel of RON 92 gasoline; 57.99 USD per barrel of diesel; 58 USD per barrel of kerosene and 248.4 USD per ton of fuel oil.

This figure is equivalent to the base price in this adjustment period of 16,394 VND per liter of gasoline, 413 VND per liter lower than the previous period. Similarly, the price difference between the two adjustments for E5 gasoline is -405 VND per liter, diesel -123 VND per liter, kerosene -95 VND and mazut is 260 VND per kilogram.

With a reduction of VND15,968 per liter, the current retail price of each liter of RON 92 gasoline is VND432 per liter lower than at the end of 2015.
